+Well the complexity of the protocol is to allow firefox to download
+only needed part of the blacklist, without sending the url to google
+and without downloading a huge list periodically.
+All the information passed by firefox to google is which chunk of the
+list it wants do download, this being determined by the beginning of

+It would indeed be simpler to send the url.
